Abstract

Structural materials, specifically rolls for use in steelfabricating processes, are disclosed for use in corrosive and erosive environments. In one arrangement the roll includes a base member or substrate to which is adhered a resin coating. A reinforcing mat or cloth is adhered to and partially embedded in the resin coating, before the latter hardens. A second resin layer is coated upon and partially impregnates the reinforcing mat. A second mat is then adhered to the second resin layer in a similar manner followed by a third coating of the resin material. A greater or lesser number of resin layers and reinforcing mats can be employed as required. The specific materials employed for the resin or plastic layers and the reinforcing cloths or mats can be varied according to the specific environment in which the roll will be used. For example, in presence of hydrofluoric acid the reinforcing mat may be Dynel cloth. For resilient contact with the work a suitable elastomeric layer is placed over the last resin or plastic coating.
